Elementary School

We believe that education is most effective in an environment which recognizes that all truth is God’s truth. Therefore, a biblical perspective is woven into the whole education.

Thanks to small class sizes, every student has access to individual attention from their teachers, and no one is overlooked. Trinity is a safe, nurturing environment.

And while we challenge each child to reach his or her full potential, we recognize differences in learning styles.

Recognizing each child’s unique learning style

Not all children learn the same way.

Trinity uses a developmental approach that recognizes the differences between auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learners.

In addition to traditional class time, Trinity students experience a multitude of hands-on activities. The result? Increased retention of the lessons, and every student feeling engaged.

Questions you may have

Do you teach phonics?

Yes. Trinity uses Saxon Phonics for the K-2 reading curriculum. This program is highly effective for students who struggle with dyslexia as well as those who do not. Please visit the Phonics & Structured Literacy page for more information.

Do you teach cursive writing?

Yes. Students begin to learn cursive in first grade.

What's taught in each grade?

Our elementary curriculum covers all the basics students will need to be well-prepared for middle school. Our students’ reading and math scores are consistently above national averages.

And importantly, a biblical perspective is woven through every subject where it applies.

You may view detailed curriculum for each grade level: see the list at the bottom of this page.

What's the average class size?

Trinity prioritizes the importance of small class sizes, where no child falls through the cracks and every child is well known by his or her teacher.

But because of fluctuations in enrollment and staff, we can’t accurately put a specific number to it.

Do you have programs for learning differences?

Yes, we do.

Trinity doesn’t try to fit every student into a one-size-fits-all model. We realize that each student is created by God with his own unique strengths and weaknesses, so we provide intervention and adapted instruction for students who struggle academically, as well as for gifted students.

Trinity Academy teachers and staff:

Have a student-centered mindset.
Are trained to differentiate instruction for students with special needs, whether they struggle with learning or are gifted.
Use multiple forms of assessments to ensure students have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways.
Partner with families in the process.
